‘Come’, said Mr Elessar, as he freed me from my bonds, ‘Sit, and I will tell you the sorry tale of how Boromir the Mighty was led by treachery and sorcery to his unhappy death.’
A herald of the Firebeard King comes before the doors of Stouthammer Hall, the residence of Nyr son of Neri, Amrazu Uzal and Keeper of the Great Drum of Akladubeshek, the Great Adventurer of the Firebeards.
Herald: Hail Nyr, son of Neri. Your presence at court is requested by the King. He bids you not to tarry.
Nyr is surprised by the urgency behind the herald's words, but he knows better than to inquire after it.
